  • Lester: Anita is my psychiatrist, Will.
    Will: Oh yeah right and I just won a Grammy. Come on man-to-man, toe-to-toe. Come on!
    Will paces back and forth as if about to fight Lester
    Lester: Will! Will, I understand your anger and if you want to take out you passive/aggressive feelings towards your absent father on me go ahead.
    Will stops pacing, and looks around confused
    Will: Man you really must be seeing a shrink. edit »
  • Will: (to Lestor) You really must be seeing a shrinq...Hey, what does it mean when you dream you're flying through a tunnel on a scud missle? edit »

    Will, Carlton, and Philip all make impatient noises edit »

    Helen: I couldn't find it. edit »
